What wine box did you buy?
I have not yet mixed the stock solution. I do also plan to use replenished stock, as all reports I've seen are that (aside potentially tuning the replenishment rate) it works the same and replenishes the same, and I've gotten to quite like replenished Xtol. I did buy a wine box (with extra bags), so when I mix it, it'll go into a single sealed container from which I'll pour the working solution (2L because my sheet film tank takes 1.6+ L to cover 4x5) and each replenishment. I might, however, need to acquire a 100 ml graduate; the syringe I have that's large enough isn't marked finer than 5 ml and is hard to fill from something like a wine box/bladder.

Sino Promise should add a line of 5 litre wine boxes to their product line.
I'd be very happy to give the Adox product a try -- when it's readily available in the USA. Shipping photo chemicals from Germany just isn't going to happen....
Hi,
I see replacements are arriving in the US. I wonder what the packaging says about where they're manufactured.
I'm still waiting for mine without any recent replies in Hungary.
I found a couple of packages of the original Kodak XTOL from 10 years ago. I mixed it, looks like it always did, I may just use as a test.
Yes, I've found properly stored XTOL powder or mixed stock solution to be nearly eternal. I was developing a long roll of 70mm and I needed 2 liters. I used 1 liter mixed 1 year ago, and, at the back of the shelf, I found an overlooked liter, 3 years old. Both stored in full PET bottles. Worked perfectly well.FWIW, the Xtol I mixed when I started processing film again last year was 2002 expiry. Worked fine, but I've gotten into the two liters of replenisher that were weaker than the rest due to a measurement error, so I'm going to discard it and start over -- apparently with EcoPro, since the two packages of Xtol I bought last year were "trade concern" packages and I still haven't gotten the replacements (emailed in February of this year and got an acknowledgment then).
